Motherboard/RAM question

[tmartin702]

I bought your currently recommended motherboard MSI P67A-GD65(B3) LGA 1155

The RAM that crucial recommended via their website is 8GB Kit (4GBx2), Ballistix 240-pin DIMM.

My question is that since the motherboard has 4 RAM slots, do you recommend I order 4 sticks of RAM (4GBx4) or is the recommendation from Crucial Memory to install only 8 GB of RAM (4GBx2). (And if is only to use 2 sticks, which 2 slots do I use?)

Thank you!

It's better to only use 2 of the 4 slots in order to leave room for future upgrades. The motherboard manual will tell you exactly which 2 slots to use, and yes it does matter.
